Last Message3 days, 4 hoursago2 guests are online.- crash : hahaha, 09 Diamondback Mission 3. When I hit widow, I didn't realize my fork was still set at 100mm. Still felt good though.
- crash. : manny, «link» but in black and chrome
- Manster : what bike did you get?
- crash : I blame it on newbikeitis
- Manster : holy shit sherms, your vid on widow.... you are flying!
- Manster : Will do.
- crash : Yea, just change the boot out. Don't buy aftermarket half shafts for the audi, tolerances are too tight. To replace outer boot, you'll have to disassemble inner CVjoint as well. Might as well replace both boots.
- Manster : Audi, drive side outer.
- crash : Quick boot is a fail. Best to do it the old fashioned way. Is this for the audi or the CRV?
- manster. : crash, my cv boot gave up. Thoughts on the Quick Boot? Otherwise, I'll do it with a std boot kit.
- crash : I have to say that the Talus, even at 100mm, felt so plush. I'm super happy with my super ghetto tubless setup too. Didn't lose 1psi of air during the whole ride even though I ran it at 28psi.
- crash : Hahaha, Tymo didn't look too happy when he got back to the truck.
- Oz. : I think Tim will hate for the next 3 yrs for tricking him to ride Whore to Extra Credit with us. We miss you guys..sorta..sin ce it's been a while.
- Manster : lol awesome!
- Oz. : I <3 Chris. @ 8:05AM "Hey, call your buddies Manny & Higs. No fuck it, let's go ride."
- Guest_675 : Def one of the best rides in a while. 9 peeps at the meeting spot 20 mins before the agreed meet time. A RECORD! Sherms, you slayed widow maker!!
- Manster : daaaamn, I wanna try your bike. I was thinking about that setup. I'll get a Joplin instead.
- crash : p.s. I LOVE MY HAMMERSCHMIDT!!!
- crash : Wheels on dirt at 8:45, everyone at the trailhead before noon.
- crash : I was bummed that you and Higz couldn't make it. Was a great fast paced ride. Saw part of Big Laguna that I had never ridden before.
- Manster : I went through magazine after magazine of .45 ammo last week and now my right wrist is fucked. All the meat in between the bones is bruised. Sorry guys, I had to back out of the ride yesterday because I can't grip the bars.
- crash.m : orv has one of me cartwheeling into the ravine
- Higz : Any vidz?
- crash.m : Aawesome time today! Didn't realize till after stairway that my fork was set to 100mm. Missed you guys out there.
- Higz : Fucking overslept!! FML
- your.mtb : thou shall just ride
- crash : Thou shall just swap the rear triangle...
- deadly_sin : thou shall not want «link» (needs MTBR sign in)
- crash : I <3 you Oz. Don't worry, I only suspected Ade was fibbin when he told me he saw you talking to yourself before your race run.
- Oz. : the only time I speak to myself is in the potty when I'm bored pooping. never on this board but some thought I did.
- crash : See this confusion with all the guest tags... c'mon guys, I'm getting confused here.. It's like Orvy is talking to himself again. At least initials please... for me?
- Guest_4357 : no, its not goddarde, its higz
- Guest_2092 : been to N* already. I got my fill for two days. Mammoth will be much cheaper and closer.
- Guest_1870 : i mean is that you that's going to be at SACtown?
- Guest_1870 : goddard is that you going to N*? would anyone else be interested in that. we can hit DVille too. SHAZAM!
- Guest_1510 : i'll be in sacramento, go to n*
- Guest_61 : just throwing it out there. anyone interested in mammoth next weekend? labor day weekend?
- crash : Coo. I be there.
- Guest_293 : Ok, meet at bottom trailhead at 7:45-8Am sharp. Let's beat some east county heat.
- Manster. : I'm in!
- FriaROB : I'm in for Sunday, Anders is also...
- crash : Weather for sunday is supposed to be max 87deg. Not too bad so long as it's a dry heat I guess.
- Guest_2744 : I meant, too long of a drive just to do short noble shuttle.. I'm not from the southbay anymore.
- Guest_2744 : Uhm. NO! That's too long of a fucking drive for me and some Los Angelinos and maybe some Palmdale thug. It will be Los Gatos-Portion of BLT and Noble (minus the first big climb). Extra credit can be done if needed but I'm 100% sure that by the time we get before Stairway, the heat would be unbearable.
- crash : I have no plans other than riding for sunday.
- crash : In the interest of finishing early, we could shuttle noble and do extra credit... thoughts?
- Higz : I'm working on it, should know by Thursday.
- Guest_226 : So only two sure show of hands for the 29th?
- Guest_837 : how long will this ride take? I need to be back my noon because i'm shooting a wedding that starts @ 2. $800 in the bank SON!
- crash : I'm in. Down for whenever. Supposed to be cool and drizzly on friday and sat which means TACKY DIRT!!!!
- Guest_4957 : Ok, can we get a confirmation for the 29th, this Sunday's ride? Head count and meet time. 7:30 or 8AM at the bottom trailhead? Let's jam. I need to pass details around. This should be a fun group.
- Guest_3813 : We are dropping off at Wooded Hills dirt lot. Jumping straight unto Los Gatos (or if consensus allows) climb up to the left from the lot into some singletrack then onto Los Gatos then BLT then to Noble proper.. but we'll skip the first big Noble climb. eff that.
- Higz : I meant southern most trailhead
- Higgins : im actually looking for a pair. for the noble ride, we starting at the western most trailhead or up near the campground?
- crash.m : can't wait, can't sleep.... Its like my body knows noble is almost here and its all excited and stuff
- Guest_4095 : trail bikes.
- Manster : Big bike or small bike?
- Manster : Noble baby!!!
- crash : Higz... there's a guy on DT classfieds looking for platforms. His budget is $20
- Guest_1126 : Ok, I'll pass on invites for the Noble 29th ride. 8AM sounds reasonable. bottom lot at 8am on 29th. Sick.
- Higgins : anyone wanna off a pair of platform pedals?
- crash : woulda been funny if I showed up at 6:30 and waited till sunset for you guys to show up hahaha
- crash : nuts
- Higz : AM
- crash : Higz... is that 6:30am or pm?
- crash : Scored an 09 Mission 3. Hammy and all.
- Manster : 8AM meet with 8:15 shuttle departure?
- Manster : lets come up with a time and i'll put it in the announcements.
- Manster : shit man, I say it's ON then. I'm putting in my wifey reservation now.
- Higz : I'm down for the 29th too. Gonna ride sycamore tmw at 6:30, be there!
- Manster : New steed?
- Manster : I'm down for a 29th ride.
- crash : I'm still down for the 29th. Have to break in the new steed.
- Guest_3846 : Oh, it's the 20th, and Chris has committed to the 24hr race. Anchoring the competitive team. I'm too broke so I'll play supporting role/team mechanic/bonfire specialist/volun teer/eazy-up supplier
- Guest_3846 : So is the 29th Noble ride still on? Trying to rally some troops actually hungry to ride.
- Manster : I'm taking PQ on the way home. Maybe I'll run into you guys on the trail.
- Guest_4006 : Yeah, we're gonna stay on the Mesas side.
- Manster : Ahhhh, that is a FUN, fast and tight little trail that goes down. The way back up is a good challenge. Shoot, if it's that close, I'm going to try and sneak a ride in.
- Guest_4006 : I think we're starting somewhere where we are shuttling a place called "Camru" then to Tunnels.. Never been that way so it'd be cool to check. I think we're meeting at the park on the east side. I dunno, I think.
- Manster : That'll make for a fun quick DH and hard climb.
- Manster : Fam is coming tomorrow. too much house chores to do. I say you guys start at the Qualcomm Parking lot.
- Guest_2785 : suckie.. oh well, if anyone wants to go, it'd be a chill ride with a few of us Norcounty folks. Start at 5:30 but we're still pegging a starting spot.
- Guest_2952 : I'd hit it but will be flying to Chicago
- Guest_7 : Pq/tunnels ride tomorrow, any takers?
- Guest_1192 : Nevagals never flat.
- Manster : I used a Piranha front/rear and thought it was a great tire. Fast rolling and aggressive cornering bite. Especially on a tacky trail. Braking is.... ok... they just won't last long if you skid around. The solution is to not brake.
- Ade : i have the pythons on the trance and they're great for XC. low rolling resistance and still corners really well.
- Ade : piranhas have same tread pattern as cuddas. the main difference being the center knobs are a lot lower profile for lower rolling resistance. i use them in as a rear tire in combo with a cudda up front. i don't recommend using them as both front and rear because you throw braking out the window pretty much. and don't get them smaller than 2.3 because you crazy with the riding stylee
- Guest_3093 : Nevegals single ply
- Guest_2136 : San Diego gnar, and lots of it. The pirhanas look like mini cudas but never seen em in person.
- Manster : What terrain you riding on?
- Guest_3355 : Pythons or Piranhas you Hutch reps?
- Guest_2 : Sorry mang. Ive got an organized tues ride in Calavera every week
- Manster : I've got family flying in and I'm going to be out of group rides for the next 1.5wks.
- Manster : Anyone down for TWP tues at 5:30?
- Manster : I got sick on Thurs. Some funky flu and I'm still down and out.
- Guest_2499 : Anyone down for a sjt shuttle tmw AM?
- Guest_1372 : Tell me about it, fuckers don't let me on base since that one time. Better have some gnar vids man.
- Guest_3773 : WTF... I thought once a marine, always a marine. Love and kisses from N*..
- Higgins : paging ed, paging ed.... «link»
- crash : I wonder if someone is gonna full body cramp this time?
- Higgins : hey oz, that guy must have either been stationed there at one point or knew some people stationed there, because I wouldn't even be able to get on base.
- Higgins : for sure, what time will that be?
- Guest_357 : yeah higgz i'll pick that up tomorrow after wokr. is that cool? goddard can i borrow that?
- Guest_4196 : Higz, Miramar rents out generators and portable propane heaters. My first 24hr race crew had a former marine who rented out some sick equipment from the base. I mean, fucking military standard issue shit. The heater kept half the block warm all night. Ask Heather.
- Higgins : I gotz it, its tuned and ready to go, want to pick it up?
- crash : uh oh, looks like someone wants to train
- Ade : hey which one of you andys have the schwinn road bike right now?
- Higgins : Still need to get final approval.
- crash : $30 a day isn't bad. That makes it $60 for the weekend if we pick it up saturday morning and return it monday morn
